Dallas (18-13-4-7) at NY Rangers (20-17-4-1)


= Over 5 -145

The over is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings and the last meeting was a 10-2 affair.

[cecil127]

the dallas game you're refering to was last february. i like the "former meetings" stat too but only take it seriously for games played this season. will dallas go back to back loses? im stayin away.

and the last isles/colorado game(4-2) was last march...i like the over 5.5 for +115 moreso than the avs -160(no value) or isles at +140 (hoping for an upset)

still working on my parlays for this evening.....your criticism will be welcome.

early interest:
calgary -110 (has trouble with the wild but minnys on a hell of a skid right now)
leafs +155 (just dunno about my flyers these days)
isles/avs over 5.5 +115
sharks -240 (is it even worth betting them at this price?)

I know when the games we're played. I know things are totally different this time around for both games, but that's what I like for now.

That's how trends start....the stats are tracked game to game, year after year, and everything else that happens.

Not everything changes when a new season starts.

The over at +115 looks good for the game too.

Fade away and make some $$

I took U in the Stars/Rangers game so you're probably in the clear

Don't be so sure of yourself Zandy my bad luck is booming!

I swear if I bet against the leafs every game they would win the cup!

[cecil127]

looking back in their last 5 games the rangers have scored a whopping 8 goals. dallas scored 1 in their last 120 minutes of hockey.

i think you talked me into an Under 5 (+125) wager

as for the isles: the last time they won in colorado was 1999. not sure what you mean by "havent done the greatest when at home vs the isles" but there's your win/lose stat.

[SlapShot87]

Cecil if that's the case then covers must have a screwed up database.

[SlapShot87]

Im pretty sure your dead wrong.

[SlapShot87]

If covers has it all messed up, then it would be surprising to me.

I've checked there for the games each and every day and hope to hell that they havn't had issues like this all along

[cecil127]

12-17-05 was @ the isles.
3-2-09 was at the isles.

i just spot checked those 2 dates
pretty sure YOU'RE dead wrong.

[SlapShot87]

You are right. I am a ****kin tard. Maybe I need glasses for real.

[cecil127]

you're not a tard. ya just fgot some !@#$'ed up info. or maybe ya had the right info and read it wrong. happened to me before and it'll happen again. no biggie.

hell, i could still be wrong, and usually am.

[SlapShot87]

No, you are correct sir

Thanks for the correction.

Been denying the fact that I need glasses a while now for reading.

Think it's time to face the fact and get a pair.

[Skaramouche]

the dallas game you're refering to was last february. i like the "former meetings" stat too but only take it seriously for games played this season. will dallas go back to back loses? im stayin away.

still working on my parlays for this evening.....your criticism will be welcome.

early interest:
calgary -110 (has trouble with the wild but minnys on a hell of a skid right now)
leafs +155 (just dunno about my flyers these days)
isles/avs over 5.5 +115
sharks -240 (is it even worth betting them at this price?)

Calgary looks pretty good to me. did you see them play last night? i saw the chicago/minn game and honestly the wild didnt look too bad. they got some bad bounces in the offensive zone. they could have easily scored 4-5 goals. the hawks were amazing though so you cant compare. Calgary has played well lately and i dont know how minny will respond after a hard loss at chicago. i think i will take Calgary small.
Just like you i dont know about the leafs. i am gonna stay away until either team improves significantly. Flyers have been playing better lately though. too unstable for me though
I think that Colorado is gonna win big in this one. I might even go with Col -1.5

As for the Sharks I think it is too risky at -240. THey will probably win but as bad as St. Louis is overall, they have done really well on the road. When Sharks lose a game, they also tend to lose the next one as well. there actually might be value in going with St. Louis. maybe a small bet.

[cecil127]

at least we got one problem figured out.
now on to who the hell's gonna win these games tonight-and how many are they gonna score?!?!

[cecil127]

stl: as the away dog they are 11-7 this year.
i will be watching the flyers tonight with my homer garb on. ill wager on the leafs and if the flyers win it wont hurt so bad losing the $. if the leafs win the flyers lose wont hurt so bad with a lil chingy in my pocket. pretty strange way of wagering but its worked for me in the past. especially these "transitional" periods.
calgary will impose their will on the wild and win a low scoring affair....

still working up my parlay of the day. its getting bigger by the minute....

[diecast]

sharks, flames, rangers, leafs/flyers total under 6.

just started getting back into hockey, stopped following during the 2004 lockout. watched the usa/canada juniors last night, that was sick.

[SlapShot87]

calgary -110 (has trouble with the wild but minnys on a hell of a skid right now)

Yeah with minny on a skid and calgary playing as hot as they are and on a streak, it's kind of hard not to like the flames here. Minnys next 4 after tonight don't look too pretty for them facing chicago, pittsburg, vancouver, then stl. They gotta get a win in somewhere you would think.





leafs +155 (just dunno about my flyers these days)

I kinda like the flyers here tonight but they have lost the last 3 home games vs the leafs and like you, I have no idea these days when it comes to the flyers.

sharks -240 (is it even worth betting them at this price?)

I'm gonna stay away from this game tonight. Just not worth it for me.

[SlapShot87]

What do you think about the Flames/Wild game going under 5?

[cecil127]

i think it'll stay under 5 myself.....

[SlapShot87]

Nice to see it at 3-2 already with half a game left to play!

Worst thing that can happen is a push.

[DennisGreen]

I took U in the Stars/Rangers game so you're probably in the clear

LOL unreal unlucky you must be sir.

Nice to see it at 3-2 already with half a game left to play! Worst thing that can happen is a push.

Nice job I ended up backing off this one for some reason, didn't like the juice and had a bad feeling it might be a 2-1 game.

[SlapShot87]

How about that Buffalo game? 5-3 almost midway through the 2nd!

Wow...

[DennisGreen]

How about that Buffalo game? 5-3 almost midway through the 2nd! Wow...

Yeah the grand salami is looking golden tonight. Over looks like it might hit in every game so far

[cecil127]

3 min left in the 2nd of the rangers/dal game and its 3-2. how did you ever talk me into that under 5 bet SlapShot87?

[SlapShot87]

Maybe when I misread the stats for the isles game you thought "great fade material" idk

[cecil127]

nah, thats not my style. i could never blindly take the opposite of someone hoping it would hit for no other logical reason than to be a dick.
i did the homework on the 2 teams then found the payback on the under a lot nicer than the over and somehow convinced myself that the score would be 3-1. i talked myself right into it. you simply pointed out the play.

[SlapShot87]

(nah, thats not my style. i could never blindly take the opposite of someone hoping it would hit for no other logical reason than to be a dick.)

Likewise Doing that proves nothing and will get you no where.

It's not over yet, you still have a push possibility.

[diecast]

really screwed my picks tonight. parlayed rangers with the leafs/flyers under 6 and played the flames ML straight. held off on the sharks until the other games were over.

looks like i'll be 0-2 tonight, not going to play the sharks - too depressed on my losses.
